Here’s an incredibly QuickTip about how you can use the LiDAR Scanner
on your iPhone or iPad to measure a persons height really easily.
And if you find this tip useful

This really is simple – go straight onto the Measure app
that comes as standard with your iPhone or iPad
and hold the camera at a person.
You’ll be directed to move closer or perhaps further away,
And you need to make sure that the whole person is in the frame –
from their feet to the top of their head.
Now, as long as you’ve got a device with a LiDAR scanner –
we’re talking the iPhone 12 Pro series
or the 2020 iPad Pro and beyond,
you’ll be able to get an accurate reading of that persons height
very, very quickly – just like this.
After getting the measurement you can press the shutter button
(or the camera button) in the bottom corner
and that’ll get a screenshot for you of the person on screen with their height next to them.
This also works on people who aren’t freakishly tall like me,
For example my glamorous assistant here.
The readings are pretty accurate,
I’m actually about six foot four or six foot five,
So it’s only one or two centimetres off for me.
But that’s pretty good – and it’s certainly helpful to
be able to get a quick estimation of someone’s height.
Not a bad little feature for an app that comes built into your device.
